Shocking moment Liverpool star Darwin Nunez jumps into the crowd and starts swinging punches at FANS as Copa America descends into chaos

Uruguay's loss to Colombia in the Copa America semifinals was capped off in extremely ugly fashion as Darwin Nunez fought with fans in the stands afterwards.

The Liverpool forward, who endured a frustrating night in front of the goal, could be seen throwing punches in a video in scenes after the 1-0 defeat.

Nunez was held back by security as he raged at Colombia supporters in Charlotte North Carolina. 

A Colombia fan could also be seen throwing a drink at Nunez and his Uruguay teammates with Jose Gimenez and Ronald Araujo among those to enter the stands as well.

Gimenez reportedly said on TV afterwards that the players' families - sitting in close proximity to the fans - were 'avalanched' by supporters.

'This is a disaster, our families are in danger,' he said. 'Not one single policeman.'
